I've been noticing that a lot of you have been asking questions about
my workout routine in your comments. I decided what better way to
answer your questions than to have my trainer Danny Connolly guest blog
about the exercises we do each session. I brought my camera to my
training session with him this week so check out all the pictures of
us! Danny is AMAZING and he seriously does wonders! So without
further adieu, here he is!
Hey everyone. I'm Danny and I've been working with Whitney for quite a while now. I've been training since '94, and have worked to really become an expert at sculpting and defining the body over the years. No one in the fitness industry is able to transform a physique like I can!
I've been training with Whit since before The Hills even began filming and I have witnessed firsthand her evolution to stardom and she is still that sweet, humble girl I first met! Anyway, down to the workout! I've explained the exercises taking place in the first six pictures in the gallery.
1.) This is the cross-cable push/pulls. It emphasizes the obliques and core, in addition to working the shoulders, arms and back muscles.
2.) Here you see the traveling lunge which is a standard trainer favorite. I utilize them with all of my girls and Whit has benefited greatly from this move. It works thighs, butt and hips. We always concentrate on keeping her upper body tall and erect to emphasize the abs too. While they may not be one of her favorites, Whitney does them perfectly! My form is very strict, or I should say that I am very meticulous about the manner in which I teach THIS move in particular.
3.) This is the weighted ball toss for toning the waistline and shoulders -- it's Whit's favorite move we do! We have her concentrate on controlling the momentum aspect. We keep her arms as straight as possible, too.
4.) This move is tough. It takes a fair amount of upper body strength to lift the lower torso 'off' the seat. This move indirectly targets the arms and shoulders, but is actually an abdominal movement. It works primarily the lower ab region.
5.) This one is another Whitney favorite. It is called an alternating bicep curl with the tension bands. She curls the bands across her body and controls the speed on the way down.
6.) Lastly we have the tricep dips on a bench. She does these well every time! We try to keep her upper body close to the bench as she lifts and lowers her body up and down. This move works the shoulders and arms really well!
Well guys, I hope you enjoyed mine and Danny's little workout how-to! Keep an eye out, we are going to try and do this more often ;)

What is that position before the lunge (pics #6 & 7)? That looks like a horse stance in martial arts, but done very wrong LOL :)
Thanks so much Whitney! I'm looking forward to the ones coming up! I will definately give all of these a try, oh and by the way good job Danny Whitney's body is amazing!
Thanks for the tips! Whitney, I love your sneakers, can you tell us what kind they are?

Liz,
They are by asics but not sure what type? they look similar to the gel lytes. HTH :)
Good work Whitney!!!
This doesn't really pertain to this blog entry, but there isn't anywhere else to let you know. I am THRILLED that you said what you said about "Twilight" you are soooo dead on and hilarious. It's a bunch of hype over nothing. I love a girl that tells it how it is. Truthfully, I loved your personality and show before I read that so I'm not really objective but I just think you're great. Good for you Whit! Speak your mind. From one Pisces to another...power to the fishies!
I love your show! And I do miss you on "The Hills". Glad you left what's his face. You are way to great of a girl for him. And what is up with your co-worker? Boy, is she a piece of work!! lol Hope you will be back for a new season of, "The City"!!!
A recent rat study clearly illustrates what happens when you get a bit overenthusiastic about your training. The authors note that muscle gains result when exercise activates certain hormonal and signaling factors in muscle. If all goes well, muscle protein synthesis is increased, leading to muscle gains. The initial recovery of trained muscle also has an inflammatory component, however, and while inflammation is initially necessary to clear out muscle debris and so on, it can be counterproductive if it persists for an extended time. Indeed, a major component of the loss of muscle with age is out-of-control inflammation, setting the stage for catabolic processes that lead to a loss of muscular size and strength.
